Hey all,

Joining the forum to hopefully learn more about the poker chip scene. I am looking to buy an affordable set for a home game I am starting and am hoping this forum can help me make that decision

I'm new here too, and you are about to learn a lot.

Welcome to the forum!
An important Synod of this forum's Clergy is currently taking place in Minnesota!
"Affordable" has been redefined by practically every poor soul to have joined this forum:
Read and see a lot, and, of course, get samples of whatever chips might interest you.

Hello and welcome!

This is a dangerous place. Your first definition of affordable will probably be around 15 to 25 cents a chip. And then you'll see some in the 0.35-0.45 range and say, "Yeah, I can definitely afford that." And then someone will show you beginner elite stuff in the 0.75-0.90 range, and you'll hesitantly step over that line. Then come the low-mid range Paulsons at 1.00-2.00, and before you know it, you'll be ordering a custom CPC set for an average 2.25 a chip.

Not that this has happened to me, or anything.

Haha yes I am definitely starting to figure that out!

My father was from Mound Minn and moved to NY after Vietnam. I have a ton of cousins and family there that I’ve never met

Minnesota is a great place to be from, long winters require a lot of poker, or at least that's how I learned how to play.

Welcome New Folks!

I think this is a great starter set and better than china clay or ceramics which are in a similar price range.

You can also add on to this set at the Apache website.
